Finance concerns dominate the first West hustings

CONCERN over the island’s future finances was the underlying theme at the first of two hustings meetings for the West District.
Candidates were asked whether they thought a goods and services tax was inevitable and how the cost of overspends on capital building projects would be met.
All 200 seats at La Houguette Primary School were taken for last evening’s meeting, which was chaired by former States member Advocate Roger Perrot (pictured). Nara Le Noury was the only absentee among the 12 candidates.
* The second hustings is at the same venue at 7.30pm on Wednesday 9 April.
